Ties

Silk ties from the houses that still weave their own — the least expensive way to own a piece of a designer label, and the one that lasts longest.

Width dates a tie faster than its pattern. Between seven and eight centimetres sits comfortably with most modern lapels; anything narrower is a deliberate look. The width and the full silk composition are on every page. Pieces here are from Dolce & Gabbana.
